Christopher Crawford, Harris Fraser and Martin Wilson were busy putting up the Inveraray lights on November 15 on behalf of Inveraray Community Council.
Christmas will off cially begin in Inveraray on Saturday December 1, when a parade will lead the way to the big festive light switch-on.
The parade of lanterns will leave from the Co-op car park at 6.30pm, with a jolly fat man in a red suit leading the way accompanied by Mid Argyll Pipe Band.
